VERSE
CmAb7
The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
BbG/BCm
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
CmAb7
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
G7Cm
And a siren wailing on the other side of town
VERSE
CmAb7
Oh the TV's on and the colors really hurt my head
BbG/BCm
If I could think straight I'd wish that I was dead
CmAb7
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
G7Cm
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread
CHORUS
Fm7Bb
And I don't recall who said it at this time
AbEbBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Bb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
CmFm7G7Cm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
CmAb7
With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
BbG/BCm
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
CmAb7
And a little weed just to level me sometime
G7Cm
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time
CHORUS
Fm7Bb
And still that saying gets inside my head
AbEbBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Bb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
CmFm7G7Cm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
BREAKDOWN
Am7b5
So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
Ab7
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
Am7b5
When you're as high as this you think you know it all
Ab7GG/G7A
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall
INSTRUMENTAL
Cm | Ab7 | Bb G/B | Cm
"I'm bottoming out"
Cm | Ab7 | G7 | Cm
CHORUS
Fm7Bb
And I don't recall who said it at this time
AbEbBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Bb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
CmFm7G7Cm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
Fm7Bb
And still that saying gets inside my head
AbEbBb
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
Fm7Bb
I built it up and the wolf he came around
AbEb
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
G7/D
He huffed and puffed,
CmFm7G7Cm
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down
Fm7G7Cm
And the house fell down
